B-J Auction; so who is the guy....

Yeah, I noticed that the big guy was towering over your friend. That's probably why he jumped up on stage---so he could physically intimidate the smaller guy. I also noticed that your friend wound up with several awesome cars, including that white T-bolt.

Ron lives in Phoenix now...so buyer's commissions and AZ sales tax had to be approaching $650,000 combined...yeowch!

Steve, does he have a museum or just a private collection? The Futurliner seems like an odd buy for a musclecar collector. They were saying the seller was hoping for $600K.

Funny you should ask...he started his private car collection at B-J 2003 by buying 52 cars during that auction, then sold his construction business here last year and moved back to Phoenix. He recently built a nice exhibit hall/building in metro Phoenix with museum intents. His collector interests are diverse, with everything from old fire trucks to muscle cars to new exotics, so it should be interesting when he's done.

I really felt glad for the guy who was hoping to get 600k for the Futurama bus------------What a feeling it must have been for him to see the bidding take off like that-------I was even clapping in front of my TV......
